The field of organizational development and change helps managers and middle managers improve organizational effectiveness by working with other stakeholders to design, facilitate and evaluate changes. Through the use of diagnostic models, students will learn how to plan and carry out effective organizational development and change projects and interventions within their own organizations.
Designed for the manager or executive who faces change-related challenges at work, students learn about theories, skills and professional frameworks of organizational development and change that can be applied to real-world situations. Graduates of the program are equipped with the tools to become leaders of change in their organizations.
